Most Desired SPS

ryshark · 05/17/2009, 10:53 AM

What is your most desired sps? I was at an LFS yesterday and they were selling a decent sized frag of the Pink Lemonade Acropora for $290, a 1/2" frag for $85 and a 1/4" frag for $45. I saw the mother colony in the display tank and it looked pretty awesome. Instead of purcahsing a bunch of $40 frags here and there I think I want to wait and then purchase one high end piece. So for me right now, I would like to get a pink lemonade, what do you desire most?

myzislow · 05/17/2009, 11:07 AM

How big is a decent size frag for 290??

rouge mille and ice fire are my most desired pieces.

mylittlejade · 05/17/2009, 11:17 AM

Mine was the ice fire echinata..That's until I found a mini colony for sale. Also the Grafted Simplex, So if anyone has it out there let me know.

There were probably around 3-brances coming out of it and about 3/4"-1" long each branch.

ryshark · 05/17/2009, 11:39 AM

I checked out the ice fire and rouge milli... both are SWEET.

broke1 · 05/17/2009, 11:51 AM

The Icefire and Grafted Simplex are still the top of my most wanted list.

wow!! I just sold an entire SPS frag pack with 6 nice size corals, including a pink lemonade frag that was probably larger then the one you're talking about, for less then what they are asking for the single frag. IMO, I would shop elsewhere as there are way better deals to be had.

the lemonade frag

ryshark · 05/17/2009, 12:24 PM

It was similar to the one in your picture. I will pick one up at a fragswap somewhere for less. Vivid Aquariums has high prices in their store. They also wanted $85 for Red Planet frags that were sraight from ORA but pretty small.
Now I will keep my eyes open for ice/fire and rouge milli too.

Fsurocks99 · 05/17/2009, 01:15 PM

Icefire for me as well.

Acezwild · 05/17/2009, 03:07 PM

I got my pink lemonade for 50 bucks for 1inch those other prices are a bit over rated

imisky · 05/17/2009, 05:18 PM

pink lemonade is my most desired SPS as well, but unfortunately i live in canada and prices up here are expensive. anyone wanna ship up here? haha

Elan L. · 05/17/2009, 05:36 PM

I just accidentaly killed my pink lemonade :cry:

wrightnow · 05/17/2009, 05:41 PM

pwoller · 05/17/2009, 05:54 PM

I just got the pink lemonade and I'm not all that impressed, paid 50 buck for it. 85 for the ORA corals seems high, maybe you can ask for a better price? My most desired is the palmers milli, I had one but it RTN'ed.

NyReefNoob · 05/17/2009, 06:00 PM

< has the palmer milli, not overly impressed for a milli, like my sunset better, there are several pink lemonaides. i have the varient thats more yellowish green with pink coralite's, red planet is one of my fav's

cee · 05/17/2009, 06:10 PM

ryshark, you can definately do better. I usually sell PL frags about an 1"+ for $45. imisky, wish I had known, I was there just over a week ago and would have brought one to you. Palmer's, IMO, is nice, but does require high light to really make the blue pop. Icefire is nice but grows oh so slow for me. My current fav is Atlantis rambleri, but so many corals and so little room.

sorry abotu my tangent back on topic now

IFbettas · 05/17/2009, 10:25 PM

The one I want the most is the icefire, and then probably the purple monster. I have the pink lemonade and it is one of the nicer acros in my tank. It is definately worth getting if you find the right price.

DanW · 05/18/2009, 09:51 AM

I live in Corona, probably about 35-min from you. Do you have a piece of that to sell?

kev apsley · 05/18/2009, 10:47 AM

I'd say the ********** Enchinata and the Ice Fire Enchinata

DanW · 05/18/2009, 11:40 AM

Iâ€™m going to define the â€œmost desiredâ€ by the hardest to get, so hereâ€™s my list:

Tyree Grafted Simplex
Tyree Ice Fire Enchinata
Tyree (Alexâ€™s) Blue Matrix
Tyree (Jason Fox) Royal Plum
